Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Augenschutz-Kappe zum Schutz eines Auges einer zur behandelnden Person vor elektromagnetischer Strahlung, insbesondere vor Laserstrahlung, gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to an eye protection cap for protecting an eye of a person to be treated from electromagnetic radiation, in particular from laser radiation, according to the preamble of claim 1.

Durch medizinische Laserbehandlungen können bei Personen Falten oder Hautanomalien wie Altersflecken und Warzen behandelt werden. Dabei müssen die Augen der zu behandelnden Person und die Augen der behandelnden Person vor der auftretenden Laserstrahlung geschützt werden.Medical laser treatments can treat people with wrinkles or skin abnormalities such as age spots and warts. In this case, the eyes of the person to be treated and the eyes of the person to be treated must be protected from the laser radiation occurring.

Zum Schutz der Augen der zu behandelnden Person kann beispielsweise eine bekannte Augapfelbrille herangezogen werden, die zwei Halbschalen zum Bedecken der Augen umfasst. Die Halbschalen sind über einen Nasensteg miteinander verbunden und werden über ein Kopfband an dem Kopf der zu behandelnden Person gehalten. Insbesondere bei Laserbehandlungen im Dermatologie- und Kosmetikbereich schränken das Kopfband und der Nasensteg die Zugängigkeit zu den Bereichen um das Auge ein. Eine Behandlung in diesen Bereichen kann nur erfolgen, wenn das Kopfband und/oder der Nasensteg abgenommen bzw. örtlich versetzt werden. Die zu behandelnde Person ist dann einer erhöhten Gefährdung durch den Laser ausgesetzt. Eine gattungsgemäße Augapfelbrille ist beispielsweise aus der DE 10 2005 058 888 B3 bekannt.To protect the eyes of the person to be treated, for example, a known eyeglass frame can be used, which comprises two half-shells to cover the eyes. The half-shells are connected to each other via a nose bridge and are held by a headband on the head of the person to be treated. Particularly in laser treatments in the dermatology and cosmetics sector, the headband and the nose bridge restrict the accessibility to the areas around the eye. Treatment in these areas can only take place if the headband and / or the bridge of the nose are removed or displaced locally. The person to be treated is then exposed to increased risk from the laser. A generic Eyeball glasses, for example, from the DE 10 2005 058 888 B3 known.

Aus der US 2008/0148461 A1 , die den nächsten Stand der Technik bildet, ist eine Augenschutz-Kappe bekannt, die zum Schutz vor Laserstrahlung getragen werden kann. Die Augenschutz-Kappe umfasst einen Randkörper und eine mit diesem in Verbindung stehende Deckschicht. Der Randkörper ist bei Benutzung der Augenschutz-Kappe mit dem Gesicht eines Trägers verklebt. Dafür ist innenseitig an dem Randkörper Klebstoff vorgesehen, der anfangs von einer abziehbaren Schutzfolie bedeckt sein kann. Die Deckschicht kann eine flexible Polymerfolie sein, während der Randkörper aus Silikon bestehen kann. Nachteilig an dieser bekannten Augenschutz-Kappe ist, dass deren Schutz vor elektromagnetischer Strahlung oftmals nicht befriedigend ist.From the US 2008/0148461 A1 , which forms the closest prior art, an eye protection cap is known, which can be worn to protect against laser radiation. The eye protection cap comprises a rim body and a cover layer associated therewith. The peripheral body is when using the eye protection cap with the face of a wearer bonded. For this purpose, adhesive is provided on the inside of the edge body, which may initially be covered by a peelable protective film. The cover layer may be a flexible polymer film, while the edge body may be made of silicone. A disadvantage of this known eye protection cap that their protection against electromagnetic radiation is often not satisfactory.

Die US 4,570,626 offenbart einen schalenförmigen Augenschutz zum Schutz eines Auges eines Patienten vor energiereichem Licht während einer Operation. Der Augenschutz ist auf die Augenhornhaut des Patienten zu legen. Er kann aus seinem flexiblen Material wie Silikon bestehen und außenseitig einen Greifvorsprung aufweisen. In dem Augenschutz sind Lüftungsöffnungen vorgesehen, um ein Festsaugen des Augenschutzes an der Augenhornhaut zu verhindern. Das Tragen dieses Augenschutzes wird im Allgemeinen als unbequem empfunden. Die Schutzwirkung dieses Augenschutzes ist nicht sonderlich hoch.The US 4,570,626 discloses a cupped eye shield for protecting a patient's eye from high energy light during surgery. Eye protection should be applied to the patient's cornea. It can consist of its flexible material such as silicone and on the outside have a gripping projection. In the eye protection vents are provided to prevent seepage of the eye protection to the cornea. Wearing this eye protection is generally felt to be uncomfortable. The protective effect of this eye protection is not very high.

Aus der WO 94/15557 A2 ist ein weiterer Laserschutz zum Schutz der Augen eines Trägers vor Laserstrahlen bekannt. Der Laserschutz kann innenseitig an einem Silikonschaum eine metallische Folie haben, die eine Aluminiumfolie sein kann. Auf der dem Träger zugewandten Seite weist die Folie eine Klebeschicht auf. Das Tragen dieses Laserschutzes ist unangenehm. Der Laserschutz bietet im Allgemeinen keinen ausreichenden Schutz vor Laserstrahlen.From the WO 94/15557 A2 Another laser protection is known for protecting the eyes of a wearer from laser beams. The laser protection may have on the inside of a silicone foam, a metallic foil, which may be an aluminum foil. On the side facing the carrier, the film has an adhesive layer. Wearing this laser protection is uncomfortable. The laser protection generally does not provide adequate protection against laser beams.

Die US 4,655,767 offenbart eine Medikamenten-Abgabevorrichtung, die einen aus Silikon bestehenden Klebebereich zum Ankleben an die Haut einer zu behandelnden Person aufweist. Die Vorrichtung umfasst ferner einen Formkörper, in dessen Innenraum sich das abzugebende Medikament befindet. Der Formkörper kann aus einer Aluminiumfolie bestehen.The US 4,655,767 discloses a drug delivery device having a silicone adhesive area for adhering to the skin of a subject to be treated. The device further comprises a molded body, in the interior of which the medicament to be dispensed is located. The shaped body can consist of an aluminum foil.

Ferner sind selbstklebende Augenpads bekannt, die auf das Auge der zu behandelnden Person zu kleben sind. Diese Augenpads ermöglichen eine gute Zugänglichkeit zu sämtlichen Bereichen um das Auge der zu behandelnden Person, da keine Kopfbänder und Nasenstege zur Fixierung vorgesehen sind. Die Laserschutzwirkung der Augenpads ist baulich bedingt sehr gering. Nachteilig ist auch, dass die Augenpads Wegwerfartikel sind.Furthermore, self-adhesive eye pads are known to be glued to the eye of the person to be treated. These eye pads allow good access to all areas around the eye of the person to be treated, as no headbands and nose pads intended for fixation are. The laser protective effect of the eye pads is structurally very low. Another disadvantage is that the eye pads are disposable.

Es werden auch oftmals Kontaktlinsen aus Metall zum Schutz der zu behandelnden Person eingesetzt. Diese bieten zwar einen äußerst hohen Laserschutz, sind aber sehr unangenehm für die zu behandelnde Person zu tragen. Diese Kontaktlinsen werden im Wesentlichen nur verwendet, wenn das Augenlid der zu behandelnden Person behandelt werden soll.Also, contact lenses made of metal are often used to protect the person to be treated. Although these offer an extremely high laser protection, but are very uncomfortable for the person to be treated to wear. These contact lenses are essentially used only when the eyelid of the person to be treated is to be treated.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, eine Augenschutz-Kappe bereitzustellen, die einerseits einen äußerst hohen Schutz vor elektromagnetischer Strahlung liefert und andererseits eine gute Zugänglichkeit für eine behandelnde Person zu Bereichen um das Auge einer zu behandelnden Person bietet. Ferner soll die Augenschutz-Kappe für die zu behandelnde Person bequem zu tragen sein.The invention is based on the object to provide an eye protection cap, on the one hand provides an extremely high level of protection against electromagnetic radiation and on the other hand, a good accessibility for a person to be treated to areas around the eye of a person to be treated offers. Furthermore, the eye protection cap should be comfortable to wear for the person to be treated.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die in dem Anspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmale gelöst. Der Kern der Erfindung liegt darin, dass die Augenschutz-Kappe einen hohlen Silikon-Formkörper aufweist, der an der zu behandelnden Person selbsthaltend angebracht werden kann. Separate Haltemittel wie Kopfbänder, Nasenstege oder dergleichen sind somit nicht erforderlich. Der Formkörper ist formstabil. Er kann aber auch in gewissem Maße flexibel bzw. in seiner Form veränderbar sein. Die Form des Formkörpers kann aber bei bestimmungsgemäßer Benutzung der Augenschutz-Kappe insbesondere nicht dauerhaft verändert werden.This object is achieved by the features specified in the claim 1. The essence of the invention is that the eye protection cap has a hollow silicone molded body, which can be attached to the person to be treated latched. Separate holding means such as headbands, nose pads or the like are thus not required. The molded body is dimensionally stable. However, it can also be flexible to some extent or changeable in its form. In particular, the shape of the molded article can not be permanently changed when the eye protection cap is used as intended.

Eine Augenschutz-Kappe zum Schutz eines Auges einer zu behandelnden Person vor elektromagnetischer Strahlung, insbesondere vor Laserstrahlung, umfasst einen einstückigen, hohlen Formkörper 1, einen Selbsthaltebereich 2 zum eigenständigen Halten des Formkörpers 1 an der zu behandelnden Person und einen Handhabungsgriff 3. Der Formkörper 1 ist aus einem Silikonmaterial mit einer Härte von insbesondere mindestens 50 Shore A, und von vorzugsweise 60 Shore A, gebildet und begrenzt einen hohlen Formkörper-Innenraum 4 nach außen. Die Augenschutz-Kappe ist zum Einsatz bei medizinischen bzw. kosmetischen Laserbehandlungen vorgesehen.An eye protection cap for protecting an eye of a person to be treated from electromagnetic radiation, in particular from laser radiation, comprises a one-piece, hollow molded body 1, a self-holding region 2 for autonomously holding the molded body 1 on the person to be treated and a handling handle 3. The molded body 1 is formed of a silicone material having a hardness of in particular at least 50 Shore A, and preferably 60 Shore A, and defines a hollow molded body interior 4 to the outside. The eye protection cap is intended for use in medical or cosmetic laser treatments.

Der Formkörper 1, der aus einem Silikonmaterial gebildet ist, ist schalenartig ausgebildet und weist eine gestreckte Grundform auf. Durch die gestreckte Grundform ist der Formkörper-Innenraum 4 im Querschnitt im Wesentlichen oval. Der Formkörper 1 hat eine umlaufende, geschlossene Seitenwandung 5 und eine mit der Seitenwandung 5 randseitig verbundene, im Wesentlichen ebene Decke 6, die bezogen auf den Formkörper-Innenraum 4 leicht konvex gekrümmt ist. Die Seitenwandung 5 verläuft quer zu der Decke 6. Die Seitenwandung 5 und die Decke 6 sind einstückig ausgebildet.The molded body 1, which is formed of a silicone material, is cup-shaped and has an elongated basic shape. Due to the elongated basic shape of the molded body interior 4 in cross section in Essentially oval. The molded body 1 has a peripheral, closed side wall 5 and a side wall 5 at the edge connected substantially flat ceiling 6, which is slightly convexly curved relative to the molded body interior 4. The side wall 5 extends transversely to the ceiling 6. The side wall 5 and the ceiling 6 are integrally formed.

Die Seitenwandung 5 hat einen freien Fuß-Rand 7, der gegenüberliegend zu einem Kopf-Bereich 8 der Seitenwandung 5 ist und auch von der Seitenwandung 5 nach seitlich außen vorspringt. Der Fuß-Rand 7 erstreckt sich derart, dass er bei der Applikation der Augenschutz-Kappe ein Auge bzw. eine Augenhöhle der zu behandelnden Person umgibt. Bei dem Kopf-Bereich 8 der Seitenwandung 5, der beabstandet zu dem Fuß-Rand 7 ist, grenzt die Decke 6 an die Seitenwandung 5 an. Die Seitenwandung 5 hat eine im Wesentlichen konstante Höhe und verjüngt sich über ihre Höhe ausgehend von ihrem Fuß-Rand 7 in Richtung ihres Kopf-Bereichs 8, so dass sich letztendlich auch der Formkörper-Innenraum 4 von dem Fuß-Rand 7 der Seitenwandung 5 zu dem Kopf-Bereich 8 der Seitenwandung 5 gleichmäßig verjüngt. Der Formkörper-Innenraum 4 ist seitlich durch die Seitenwandung 5 und nach oben durch die Decke 6 begrenzt. Bei dem Fuß-Rand 7 ist der Formkörper-Innenraum 4 nach außen offen bzw. zugänglich.The side wall 5 has a free foot edge 7, which is opposite to a head portion 8 of the side wall 5 and also protrudes from the side wall 5 to the side outside. The foot edge 7 extends such that it surrounds an eye or an eye socket of the person to be treated during the application of the eye protection cap. In the head region 8 of the side wall 5, which is spaced from the foot edge 7, the ceiling 6 adjoins the side wall 5. The side wall 5 has a substantially constant height and tapers over its height starting from its foot edge 7 in the direction of its head region 8, so that ultimately also the molded body interior 4 of the foot edge 7 of the side wall 5 to the head portion 8 of the side wall 5 uniformly tapers. The molded body interior 4 is bounded laterally by the side wall 5 and up through the ceiling 6. At the foot edge 7 of the molded body interior 4 is open to the outside or accessible.

Ferner weist die Seitenwandung 5 einen nach innen gewandten Innenbereich 9 und einen diesem gegenüberliegenden Außenbereich 10 auf. Die Decke 6 hat ebenfalls einen Innenbereich 11 und einen nach außen gewandten Außenbereich 12. Der Formkörper-Innenraum 4 wird durch den Innenbereich 9 der Seitenwandung 5 und durch den Innenbereich 11 der Decke 6 begrenzt.Furthermore, the side wall 5 has an inwardly facing inner area 9 and an outer area 10 facing this. The ceiling 6 also has an inner area 11 and an outwardly facing outer area 12. The molded body interior 4 is bounded by the inner area 9 of the side wall 5 and by the inner area 11 of the ceiling 6.

An dem Fuß-Rand 7 ist der Selbsthaltebereich 2 vorgesehen, der auch aus einem Silikonmaterial besteht und schichtartig ausgestaltet ist. Der Selbsthaltebereich 2 erstreckt sich an dem Fuß-Rand 7 über den gesamten Umfang der Seitenwandung 5, so dass der Selbsthaltebereich 2 geschlossen umlaufend ist. Obwohl der Formkörper 1 und der Selbsthaltebereich 2 aus dem gleichen Basismaterial, nämlich insbesondere Silikon, bestehen, unterscheidet sich das Silikonmaterial des Selbsthaltebereichs 2 von dem Silikonmaterial des Formkörpers 1. Es ist wesentlich weicher als das Silikonmaterial des Formkörpers 1 und hat eine Härte von insbesondere höchstens 10 Shore A, vorzugsweise von in etwa 0 Shore A. Aufgrund des Aufbaus aus dem gleichen Basismaterial sind der Formkörper 1 und der Selbsthaltebereich 2 besonders gut und insbesondere innig miteinander verbunden. Der Selbsthaltebereich 2 ist außerdem sehr selbstklebend, so dass die Augenschutz-Kappe allein mittels Klebekraft an der Augenpartie des Patienten fixierbar ist. Der Selbsthaltebereich 2 ist nach seitlich außen durch einen Steg 13 begrenzt, der von der Seitenwandung 5 nach unten vorspringt. Die Höhe des Stegs 13 entspricht in etwa der Dicke des Selbsthaltebereichs 2. Der Selbsthaltebereich 2 zieht sich bis in den Formkörper-Innenraum 4 hinein, so dass der Selbsthaltebereich 2 zumindest bereichsweise über seine Breite gekrümmt verläuft.At the foot edge 7 of the self-holding portion 2 is provided, which also consists of a silicone material and is designed in a layered manner. The self-holding portion 2 extends at the foot edge 7 over the entire circumference of the side wall 5, so that the self-holding portion 2 is closed circumferentially. Although the molded body 1 and the self-holding portion 2 are made of the same base material, namely, silicone, the silicone material of the self-holding portion 2 is different from the silicone material of the molded body 1. It is much softer than the silicone material of the molded body 1 and has a hardness of, in particular, at most 10 Shore A, preferably of about 0 Shore A. Due to the structure of the same base material of the molded body 1 and the self-holding region 2 are particularly well and in particular intimately connected to each other. The self-holding portion 2 is also very self-adhesive, so that the eye protection cap is fixed by adhesive force alone on the eye area of the patient. The self-holding portion 2 is bounded laterally outwardly by a web 13 projecting from the side wall 5 downwards. The height of the web 13 corresponds approximately to the thickness of the self-holding region 2. The self-holding region 2 extends into the mold body interior 4, so that the self-holding region 2 extends at least partially curved over its width.

In den Formkörper 1 ist innen ein Zusatzschutzelement 14 eingesetzt, das auch vor elektromagnetischer Strahlung, insbesondere vor Laserstrahlung, schützen kann. Es weist eine an die Decke 6 angepasste Krümmung auf, so dass es innenseitig über den gesamten Innenbereich 11 an der Decke 6 anliegt. Das Zusatzschutzelement 14 und die Decke 6 erstrecken sich im Wesentlichen in einander parallelen Flächen. Das Zusatzschutzelement 14 ist hier als ovales Metallplättchen ausgebildet und bildet quasi eine weitere Decke. Das Zusatzschutzelement 14 ist dicker als die Decke 6. Es ist starr ausgebildet. Insbesondere besteht das Metallplättchen aus Aluminium. Andere geeignete Materialien können ebenfalls Anwendung finden.In the molded body 1, an additional protection element 14 is inserted inside, which can also protect against electromagnetic radiation, in particular against laser radiation. It has a curvature adapted to the ceiling 6, so that it bears against the ceiling 6 on the inside over the entire interior area 11. The additional protection element 14 and the ceiling 6 extend substantially in mutually parallel surfaces. The additional protection element 14 is formed here as an oval metal plate and forms a quasi another ceiling. The additional protection element 14 is thicker than the ceiling 6. It is rigid educated. In particular, the metal plate is made of aluminum. Other suitable materials may also be used.

Zur örtlichen, aber auch zur wieder lösbaren Festlegung des Zusatzschutzelements 14 in dem Formkörper 1 ist eine nutartige Halteausnehmung 15 in dem Innenbereich 9 der Seitenwandung 5 in dessen Kopf-Bereich 8 vorgesehen, die umlaufend ausgebildet und zu dem Formkörper-Innenraum 4 hin offen ist. Die Höhe der Halteausnehmung 15 entspricht in etwa der Dicke des Zusatzschutzelements 14. Das Zusatzschutzelement 14 kann über die Halteausnehmung 15 in dem Formkörper-Innenraum 4 an der Decke 6 anliegend örtlich festgelegt werden. Das Zusatzschutzelement 14 ist auch wieder herausnehmbar. Die Halteausnehmung 15 und das Zusatzschutzelement 14 sind in Form und Größe aneinander angepasst. Das Zusatzschutzelement 14 kann aber auch auf andere Art und Weise festgelegt werden. Beispielsweise kann es auch an der Decke 6 oder über mehrere Halteausnehmungen, Rastnasen oder über eine Klemmung oder mittels Haftreibung an dem Innenbereich 9 der Seitenwandung 5 fixiert werden.For local, but also releasable fixing of the additional protection element 14 in the molded body 1, a groove-like retaining recess 15 is provided in the inner region 9 of the side wall 5 in the head region 8, which is circumferentially formed and open to the mold body interior 4. The height of the retaining recess 15 corresponds approximately to the thickness of the additional protection element 14. The additional protection element 14 can be fixed locally via the retaining recess 15 in the molded body interior 4 on the ceiling 6. The additional protection element 14 is also removable again. The holding recess 15 and the additional protection element 14 are adapted to each other in shape and size. The additional protection element 14 can also be determined in other ways. For example, it can also be fixed to the ceiling 6 or via a plurality of retaining recesses, latching lugs or via a clamping or by friction on the inner region 9 of the side wall 5.

Der Handhabungsgriff 3 ist einstückig mit dem Formkörper 1 verbunden und ist aus dem gleichen Silikonmaterial wie der Formkörper 1 gebildet. Er ist als Vorsprung ausgestaltet, der von dem Außenbereich 10 der Seitenwandung 5 nach seitlich außen und von dem Außenbereich 12 der Decke 6 nach oben vorspringt. Der Handhabungsgriff 3 weist zwei einander gegenüberliegende Griffflächen 16 auf. Die Augenschutz-Kappe ist bezüglich einer Symmetrieebene symmetrisch, die mittig durch den Handhabungsgriff 3 geht.The handling handle 3 is integrally connected to the molded body 1 and is formed of the same silicone material as the molded body 1. It is designed as a projection which projects from the outer region 10 of the side wall 5 to the side outside and from the outer region 12 of the ceiling 6 upwards. The handling handle 3 has two mutually opposite gripping surfaces 16. The eye protection cap is symmetrical with respect to a plane of symmetry that passes centrally through the handling handle 3.

Nachfolgend werden die Platzierung und der Einsatz der Augenschutz-Kappe detaillierter beschrieben. Wie aus Fig. 1 ersichtlich ist, bedecken die beiden Augenschutz-Kappen die zwei Augen der zu behandelnden Person vollständig. Es ist nur der Kopf der zu behandelnden Person dargestellt. Für jedes Auge ist eine eigene Augenschutz-Kappe vorgesehen. Nachdem die Augenschutz-Kappen identisch ausgebildet sind, wird nun nur auf eine Augenschutz-Kappe eingegangen. Der Selbsthaltebereich 2 der Augenschutz-Kappe läuft um das Auge bzw. die Augenhöhle der zu behandelnden Person und liegt an den zu dem Auge benachbarten Gesichtsbereichen der zu behandelnden Person dicht an. Durch die Klebewirkung des Selbsthaltebereichs 2 wird der Formkörper 1 dort sicher ohne weitere Hilfsmittel gehalten. Aufgrund der nachgiebigen Ausgestaltung des Selbsthaltebereichs 2 und des auch in gewissem Maße verformbaren Formkörpers 1 kann sich die Augenschutz-Kappe an die jeweilige zu behandelnde Person exakt anpassen und dicht an dem Gesicht der zu behandelnden Person anliegen. Anatomische Unterschiede bei den zu behandelnden Personen können dadurch ausgeglichen werden. Der Formkörper-Innenraum 4 befindet sich direkt über dem Auge der zu behandelnden Person. Er ist zu dem Auge der zu behandelnden Person offen. Durch die Seitenwandung 5 verläuft die Decke 6 beabstandet zu dem Auge der zu behandelnden Person, so dass die zu behandelnde Person ihr bedecktes Auge auch während der Behandlung öffnen und schließen kann. Die Wimpern der zu behandelnden Person stoßen nicht an der Augenschutz-Kappe an. Dies erhöht den Tragekomfort.The placement and use of the eye protection cap will now be described in more detail. How out Fig. 1 can be seen, cover the Both eye protection caps complete the two eyes of the person to be treated. Only the head of the person to be treated is shown. Each eye has its own eye protection cap. After the eye protection caps are identical, now only an eye protection cap will be discussed. The self-holding portion 2 of the eye protection cap runs around the eye or the eye socket of the person to be treated and is close to the adjacent to the eye areas of the face to be treated person. Due to the adhesive effect of the self-holding region 2, the molded body 1 is securely held there without further aids. Due to the flexible design of the self-holding portion 2 and the deformable to some extent molded body 1, the eye protection cap can be exactly adapted to the respective person to be treated and tight against the face of the person to be treated. Anatomical differences in the persons to be treated can be compensated. The molded body interior 4 is located directly above the eye of the person to be treated. He is open to the eye of the person to be treated. Through the side wall 5, the ceiling 6 extends at a distance to the eye of the person to be treated, so that the person to be treated can open and close her covered eye during the treatment. The eyelashes of the person to be treated do not touch the eye protection cap. This increases the wearing comfort.

Die Augenschutz-Kappe kann durch den Handhabungsgriff 3 von der zu behandelnden Person abgenommen bzw. auf das Auge der zu behandelnden Person aufgesetzt werden. Dabei ist die Augenschutz-Kappe an den Griffflächen 16 zu halten.The eye protection cap can be removed by the handling handle 3 from the person to be treated or placed on the eye of the person to be treated. The eye protection cap should be held by the gripping surfaces 16.

In den Formkörper 1 kann vor dem Einsatz von dem Fuß-Rand 7 her das Zusatzschutzelement 14 eingefügt werden. Es ist von unten manuell in die Halteausnehmung 15 zu drücken, in die es dann einspringt und sicher gehalten wird. In Richtung auf den Fuß-Rand 7 ist das Zusatzschutzelement 14 durch einen stegartigen Halte-Ansatz 17 gesichert, der von dem Innenbereich 9 der Seitenwandung 5 nach innen in den Formkörper-Innenraum 4 vorspringt und sich über den gesamten Umfang der Seitenwandung 5 erstreckt. Der Halte-Ansatz 17 ist einstückig mit dem Formkörper 1 verbunden und untergreift das Zusatzschutzelement 14 randseitig. Beim Einfügen des Zusatzschutzelements 14 ist das Zusatzschutzelement 14 über den Halte-Ansatz 17 zu drücken. Durch das Zusatzschutzelement 14 kann der Schutz vor Laserstrahlung weiter erhöht werden.In the molded body 1, the additional protection element 14 can be inserted before the use of the foot edge 7 ago. It's manual from below into the Hold recess 15 to press, in which it then jumps in and is held securely. In the direction of the foot edge 7, the additional protection element 14 is secured by a web-like holding lug 17 which projects from the inner region 9 of the side wall 5 inwardly into the mold body interior 4 and extends over the entire circumference of the side wall 5. The retaining lug 17 is integrally connected to the molded body 1 and engages under the additional protection element 14 edge. When inserting the additional protection element 14, the additional protection element 14 is to be pressed over the retaining lug 17. By the additional protection element 14, the protection against laser radiation can be further increased.

Die Augenschutz-Kappe und gegebenenfalls auch das Zusatzschutzelement 14 verhindern sicher, dass Laserstrahlung bei einer Laserbehandlung in den Formkörper-Innenraum 4 bzw. zu dem bedeckten Auge der zu behandelnden Person gelangen kann. Auch von dem Fuß-Rand 7 kann keine Laserstrahlung in den Formkörper-Innenraum 4 bzw. zu dem bedeckten Auge der zu behandelnden Person kommen.The eye protection cap and possibly also the additional protection element 14 reliably prevent laser radiation from reaching the shaped body interior 4 or the covered eye of the person to be treated during a laser treatment. Even from the foot edge 7, no laser radiation can come into the molding body interior 4 or to the covered eye of the person to be treated.

Aufgrund der hohen Klebewirkung des Selbsthaltebereichs 2 sind keine zusätzlichen Haltemittel erforderlich, wie z. B. Nasenstege, die sonst herkömmliche Augenschutz-Kappen miteinander verbinden. Auch andere Hilfsmittel, die die Augenschutz-Kappen an dem Kopf des Trägers halten, erübrigen sich. Nach dem Stand der Technik werden hierfür üblicherweise Bügel oder Kopfbänder herangezogen. Die behandelnde Person, wie ein Arzt oder eine Kosmetikerin, kann somit sämtliche Gesichtsbereiche einfach und problemlos erreichen, die unmittelbar benachbart zu dem Fuß-Rand 7 sind.Due to the high adhesive effect of the self-holding region 2 no additional holding means are required, such. As nose pads that connect conventional eye protection caps together. Other aids that hold the eye protection caps on the head of the wearer, unnecessary. According to the prior art, this usually ironing or headbands are used. The treating person, such as a doctor or beautician, can thus easily and easily reach all the facial areas that are immediately adjacent to the foot edge 7.

Die Augenschutz-Kappe ist z. B. durch Dampf sterilisierbar. Sie ist somit wieder verwendbar. Die Augenschutz-Kappe ist außerdem thermisch äußerst beständig, was auf die Silikonausführung des Formkörpers 1 und des Selbsthaltebereichs 2 zurückzuführen ist.The eye protection cap is z. B. sterilized by steam. It is thus reusable. The eye protection cap is also thermally extremely resistant, which is due to the silicone version of the molded body 1 and the self-holding portion 2.
